]]>Welcome Sydno and Echo!https://tradexat.com/welcome-sydno-and-echo/
Tue, 04 Dec 2018 03:18:59 +0000http://tradexat.com/?p=2724With recent changes regarding the future of xattrade, it was decided that Sydno and Echo have been appointed as the new main owners of Trade.

The trade family would like to thank you for all your dedication and time you’ve put into the chat so far and have no doubts that you will continue to run things effectively. Congratulations and best wishes!

Only trusted Resellers are allowed to draw signs to the sale of xats for off-site currency, such as cash. This can only be done in a status. No other person or group may draw signs to the sale of xats.

AFK Moderators

Moderators should move to staff pool if they’re afk, so that owners would know when it is needed to temp moderators.

We are now going to kick moderators who are afk and camping on active pool. This may lead to a demotion.

Using “.|.” (aka middle finger)

If someone sends a .|. it should be automatic ban for 12-24 hrs with or without a name.

Usage of Size

There has been a minor update on the rule for size. Using smileys as avatar should NOT be too big. The smiley should not overlap in the avatar box.

Example:

Also, when checking the user’s smiley size, you should always look for the first two digit. Those first two-digits are the smiley size. It should not be over w7 or w77. Please check Size for more information.

Screenshot/Including proofs

If you are not able to get a screenshot, ask someone to do it for you or PC another moderator to kick/ban the user. Also, if you think that the reason you’re going to put will be long, please put the screenshot/proof at the beginning so we could still see it on the Events.

Lastly..

If you would like to report or if you have an issue with other mods, please directly contact an owner. We will gladly address the issue.

We want to be clear that none of this was done out of spite and understand that things in life come up that you cannot always plan for.

We set aside a considerable chunk of time to evaluate everyone, and tried to assess things fairly. If you are a guest and feel you were demoted in error, please contact an owner.

]]>Clarifications On Minor Things For Staffhttps://tradexat.com/clarifications-minor-things-staff/
Tue, 14 Mar 2017 02:31:29 +0000http://tradexat.com/?p=14791. Temporary Moderators and Members are not allowed under any circumstances to ask for temp or rank.
If you do so, you will have two warnings against you, then that will lead to a demotion. And you will NOT get your rank back.

2. Splitting pools has also been an issue, you are allowed to stay in trade pool, but if it’s a busy day and all the moderators are camping in one pool, that’s certainly not acceptable. And that will also lead to two warnings and a demotion followed.

3. Using Yellowcards, ban games, etc.. is also not allowed.

4. Staff not moving to staff pool when you’re AFK is not acceptable, when you feel like you’re not gonna be active and pay attention to the chat, please move to staff pool.

5. Temporary moderators are to use guest self whenever their temp is up.

]]>How To Take Proper Screenshotshttps://tradexat.com/take-proper-screenshots/
Sat, 11 Mar 2017 05:59:10 +0000http://tradexat.com/?p=1460This post is about showing users how to take proper screenshots when reporting someone flaming / scamming / or breaking rules in general. Users tend to crop the screenshot when showing an owner or a moderator the proof, but that is not allowed, and the screenshot will be turned down, and not accepted, and the content will not be ban worthy if the screenshot is not properly taken.
Screenshots must have the whole chat box in the picture. No matter what you’re reporting. Please make sure the whole chat box is shown, otherwise, no action will be taken no matter the circumstances.

Why must you ask?
Well, for starters, we wouldn’t know if the image was manipulated to make the other user look bad.
We also need to know if the action took place on the actual Trade chat.
It shouldn’t be hard to take a legit proof of what you’re reporting, since Trade staff will also take their time to review the images and take the proper action needed.

Here are some examples :

//imgur.com/a/75Qv5

//imgur.com/a/2mMxW

//imgur.com/a/Q3KZp

Above you can see how proper screenshots will be taken. Any screenshots other than the ones above will not be accepted.
And Moderators or owners will not take action.

]]>The Official Guide to Scamshttps://tradexat.com/scams/
Mon, 27 Feb 2017 03:27:23 +0000http://tradexat.com/?p=1394Scamming is an attempt to steal xats, subscription days, powers, or accounts from you. Scamming comes in as many shapes and sizes as the scammers themselves. In this guide, we will be showing you the most popular scamming techniques.

Pro-tip: When using safe trade, always pay attention to the trade engine and don’t get distracted by the main chat or other private chats. It is important to stay focused.

Trade Changers

The general idea is, the scammer makes an offer, usually a very good offer. Then, you both enter your offer in and you accept, while the scammer does not. They then attempt to lower their own offer or change their offer just before you accept. However, this rarely works, as xat has taken many protective measures against this. Also, look out for scammers who will put days in the xats box instead of the days box.

Examples:

In this photo, a user was selling gold for 56,650 xats however, the user changed their trade to 50,650 xats.In this photo, a user was selling Namecolor + Nameglow for 10k. The other user quickly removed Namecolor before the trade was accepted.

Trade doesn’t work!

Some scammers will attempt to convince you that the trade engine doesn’t work. They will then tell you they must use transfer, and you have to transfer first. NEVER TRANSFER FIRST. I repeat, NEVER TRANSFER FIRST. ALWAYS USE SAFE TRADE.

Duplicating xats/days/powers

In this situation, scammers will try very hard to convince you that they can duplicate your xats/days/powers and that the only thing you have to do on your part is trade/transfer the xats/days/powers to them. Many users get scammed through this method. The scammers may even show you fake videos or screenshots showing that they have done this before, or even go on the trade engine and show you their powers in pairs of 2 or 3. You must always remember this is NOT and never will be possible because no one can generate as many xats/days/powers as they want.

Borrowing powers

Some people or even “friends” may want to borrow your power for a minute, and you decided that they are trusted enough to lend it to them. They run off with the power, and you never see it again. Please note that xat does not support the lending of powers. If you do decide to lend the power, you could ask for xats in return.
